The global consulting firm enhances its offering in the field of advanced analytics technologies
BIP, a global consulting firm, announces the acquisition of BITKA, a Brazilian company operating in the mining, financial services, and manufacturing sectors, with expertise in advanced analytics, including AI, optimization, engineering, and machine learning.
Founded in 2020 and composed of over 140 specialists, BITKA supports companies in extracting maximum value from data, optimizing strategic and operational decision-making to help achieve their business objectives. Its portfolio includes strategic projects for leading players in the mining, financial, and manufacturing sectors, such as Vale, Anglo American, VIBRA, and CSN.
With this acquisition, BIP reinforces its commitment to the field of artificial intelligence, expanding its international network of experts. BITKA’s professionals will join BIP’s xTech Center of Excellence, helping deliver cutting-edge, globally-oriented solutions to the firm’s clients and strengthening BIP’s presence across several industries – especially in the mining sector, where BIP already operates in Brazil.
“The acquisition of BITKA strengthens our commitment to being one of the leading consulting firms in the markets where we operate,” says Alberto Idone, CEO of BIP. “Brazil is a strategic market for us, and BITKA’s outstanding talent, expertise, and solid experience in the mining sector will enable us to further strengthen our presence and our ability to drive business transformation across Latin America.”
The acquisition is part of a broader, balanced growth strategy that combines organic development with targeted M&A operations. The goal is to expand the company’s geographical footprint, consolidate distinctive capabilities, and increase its impact across global markets.
“This operation is part of a structured growth path,” says Andrea Airaghi, Managing Partner at BIP. “With ten acquisitions over the past three years, we are transforming our group. This move is fully aligned with the strategy we have set for the future — focused on strengthening our core competencies and expanding into key markets. Once again, we found strong alignment in vision and values, and this integration will bring tangible benefits to our clients and our people. We continue to invest with determination in building a solid, innovative group with a long-term outlook.”
“We are excited to welcome BITKA into our global organization,” says Antonio Corghi, Global Head of BIP xTech. “BITKA’s strong and distinctive capabilities in Artificial Intelligence and Optimization will significantly enrich our portfolio and strengthen our presence in this strategic technology field. We look forward to leveraging their expertise to drive business transformation and create sustainable solutions for our clients.”
